About Me
- Name: Real Live Preacher
- Location: San Antonio, Texas
My name is Gordon Atkinson, and I'm the pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in San Antonio. I started Real Live Preacher as an anonymous blog back in December of 2002. My only goal was to write honestly and well. I try to stay focused on those two simple goals, though I dropped the anonymity in 2004. So who is Real Live Preacher? Well I am rlp, in a way. That is to say, I've tried to write honestly about myself. Still, when you choose what to reveal about yourself, you necessarily choose what not to reveal, so Real Live Preacher will never be more than a caricature of me. Sometimes I think Real Live Preacher is who I would be if I was more courageous. Sometimes I think he is the person I am slowly becoming. Who knows?

Oh, now, that is most amusing.
Thanks for stopping by Seedlings, where the conversation always gets away from me... which is a good thing.

I note your dropping by my blog and I appreciate your comments. Someone once said teachers never lead the league in home runs, but they do knock some runs in and thus do well in RBIs. It was good to hear that, at one time, you too had glazed eyes. There's hope :). jim

Thanks for looking at my blog such as it is. I find it so hard do this, I just now came back to it. I like the concept of writing or blogging, but I guess not so much doing it.
I work for a public health agency, and all of us are on to respond to wrecks in our area involving food,drugs,or alcohol. We have to make sure any adulterated product is properly disposed of, and anything salvaged is safe for public consumption. This is not my full time duties, just part of our emergency response to cover the state. Needless say not one of my favorite things to do, and one that is often done at night or in foul weather.

THE BIBLE IS THE SOURCE FOR TRUTH! BY STEVE FINNELL
If you are searching for the truth about God and His plan for mankind, where should you look? What is the only trustworthy source to find God's truth? Would it be creed books, Bible commentaries and a variety of other written works of men?
THE HOLY BIBLE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
Jeremiah 30:1-2 This word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 "Thus says the Lord, saying, the God of Israel, 'Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
The Lord did not tell Jeremiah to check with Billy Graham, Joesph Smith Jr., Gandhi or Saint Augustine and write down their words.
Exodus 24:3-4 Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, "All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!" 4 Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord.......
Moses did not write down everything that John Wesley, Brigham Young, and Buddha had said.
Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!"
Jesus said live by every word that comes from God. He did say say live by every word that comes from Pope Benedict XVI, Martin Luther, and Jerry Falwell.
Luke 10:25-26 And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying. "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?" 26 And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"
Jesus did not answer the lawyer by asking him "how does what is written by Robert Schuller, Mother Teresa and Benny Hin read to you?"
Acts 17:2-3 And according to Paul's custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from Scriptures, explaining and giving evidence that Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ."
The apostle Paul did not reason from the writings of Max Lucado, Pope John Paul II and John Calvin.
John 20:30-31 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
The writings of John McAthur, Jack Van Impe, Bill Hybels and Charles Swindoll were not written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ.
2 Peter 3:15-16 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures...
Peter said Paul's letters were by wisdom from God. Paul's letters were Scriptures.
Where does Peter say creed books, catechisms, Bible commentaries, books about the Bible, and other writings of men are Scriptures?
THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE FOR GOD'S TRUTH!
